And Other Short Stories
ISBN 9781778088131
“My ears are still ringing.” I sighed and took a deep swig of coffee. It was too hot and I slammed the cup down, scalding Java splashing around my hand.
“Ah! I can’t go on. I don’t want to know anything more about her bowel movements or, dear god, her sex life.”
From a co-worker whose endless dialogue is an analog blog in the workplace, to a completely human-less way to pass from life to death,
to a disturbing encounter with a baby on a sidewalk, this collection of short stories by Wyatt Tremblay are reflections on the joys, hopes, and sorrows of life.

History and Historical Fiction
Loyal Watermen
ISBN 9781738155828
More illuminates fascinating history along an important stretch of Canada’s “South Coast” along the upper St. Lawrence River and the lower Great Lakes between Montreal and Windsor. During the first half-century following the ‘Conquest’ in 1760, tens of thousands of French-Canadians working along this water highway became critically important elements in the defence of Canada. The Canadiens made major contributions to Canada’s survival through several American invasions aimed at annexing the then-British colony in 1775 and in 1812-14. No other histories of Canada have examined in detail the role and work of these mostly anonymous and largely forgotten mariners — sailors, shipbuilders, and batteau men alike — and this book reveals new aspects of the developing relationship between British, French-Canadian and American settlers. The permanent division of North America into two nations north of Mexico that resulted was a significant event in world history.

Dark Watershed:
The Breaking of America
ISBN 9781738155835
It’s 2029. Eighty Million Americans have run out of fresh water.
With a four decades long drought plaguing the United States Southwest, their newly elected president plans to make good on her campaign promises to bring fresh water to the desert. The New American Republic looks to their northern neighbour to fulfill this promise, but Canada’s water is not for sale.
As tensions increase between the two historically friendly neighbours to levels not seen since the war of 1812, Canada is put in the unenviable position of preparing to defend the longest undefended border in the world against the most powerful military machine in history. Can it be done?
This is the newest book in the Smithyman Saga. In the saga, historian More unlocks the complicated history dispelling many myths, both historical and contemporary, related to the long relationship between Canada and the United States that divided northern North America into two sovereign states.
